I have seen posts from fine-haired ladies saying castor oil was too heavy for their hair. I have fine hair and it was too heavy. Don't laugh. I just noticed DH uses Caswell-Massey Pre-Shave Oil -Almond. It is mostly castor oil and it is light enough for my fine hair. I use it now and I love it. It smells great.http://www.caswellmassey.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=1627&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=78&iSubCat=96&iProductID=1627 I have included the link. The only downside is it is $30 for 6 oz.
